It will surely get darker over time due to sunlight exposure. Do you coat it with something else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJole Report post Posted November 14, 2018 Two thumbs up! Nice work -- great colors and execution of those tiny lines in the wave. I find that woodcut prints (like that wave) make great leather designs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In some cases i use resolene unwatered, in tooling for example, it still lights back up after drying. 9 hours ago, DJole said: Two thumbs up!

But you could eaaily redesign with a divider, pockets for phone, etc. 6 hours ago, YinTx said: Stellar! How big is that bag? Great work on the dye, very even.
